Abstract.
This insert describes a new command mlanguage that facilitates the creation
and maintenance of “comprehensive” multilingual datasets. These
are datasets with many variables, many of which are value labeled, with
labels in different languages, all contained within the dataset. The tools
make it easy to add labels in a new language by translating an existing set
of labels, to switch between the sets of labels, to verify the integrity of
such labels, and to assist in keeping the labels complete.
